Alex Royal Grill - Troy, MI This place has been popping up in my feed on Yelp and Google Maps for a while, and I finally decided to check it out--glad I did. Alex Royal Grill is located in a strip mall, but don't let that deter you. Sometimes those are the best hidden gems. Service was a little on the slow side even though it wasn't very busy, but honestly, I may have noticed it more because I walked in very hungry. That said, my waitress was absolutely delightful--super friendly and attentive, and she made the wait much more pleasant. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of sausage patties and eggs. The portion size was solid and definitely filled me up. The gravy was delicious, the eggs cooked perfectly over medium, and the sausage patties were flavorful. They were just a touch more cooked than I personally prefer--but I can't really judge, as I tend to do the exact same thing when I make sausage at home. Overall, this experience was easily a strong 4.5 out of 5, and close enough to five stars that I'm comfortable giving it one. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. If you're in Troy and looking for a down‑to‑earth spot with good food and friendly service, this place is worth checking out. read more

Can't go wrong ordering here. Good size portions and good food. Think Coney Island or diner options. Kid friendly and lots of options for everyone. Personally I usually get a salad or breakfast but switch it up every time since so many good options. read more

Table was a bit dirty. Smaller dining area than I had expected. Ordered a large Greek salad, grilled chicken pita, turkey Reuben with side turkey links. $45.87 The wait staff all work in concert together here and help each other out with orders and condiment drop-offs and the like. The Greek salad comes with Mosley iceberg lettuce. Looked rather anemic and lack luster of color. The tomatoes for the Greek and the chicken pita are not ripe. The turkey links are so-so, rather rubbery texture though. The deli turkey is thick cut, salty and the rye bread is soggy. The chicken pita meat is overcooked. The pita fell apart while my husband was eating, so he took the small pitas from my Greek salad to make mini pita sandwiches. Eating at places like this helps me to better appreciate better quality food at other spots. Glad we had a good brunch last weekend. I am not sure how this place has over a 4 star, our food today was maybe over a 2 star. Staff is pleasant enough and works as a team. read more

Ran into this place while looking for a quick breakfast to try. Place was slow during the week. Looks like it's a family owned restaurant, I was immediately greeted by the owner. She was very pleasant and immediately seated me and handed the menu. Menu has a lot of options but I went and ordered the Classic eggs Benedict , their special of the week. Food came fast and fresh. read more

Never knew this place existed until a few weeks ago, so when we were in the mood for a Sunday breakfast, it seemed like the perfect time to give it a try. We got there at around 9:30 and there weren't many people there yet, but it filled up pretty quickly after we got there. It's just one big open space with a diner feel - nothing fancy, but it works. The breakfast menu is gigantic - so many choices! I decided to go for the spinach and feta omelette. It had a ton of spinach in it! I was good, but not particularly flavorful. It also came with a huge hash brown. My wife had the bacon, egg and cheese wrap. It was definitely bigger than she expected, but she liked it. Glad we gave this place a try! read more

Alex's Royal Grill - Eggs Benedict with crispy hash browns - Sandwiches Near Me - Troy, Michigan

When I got here I was the only person in there. My waitress was very polite and helpful. I order the corned beef hash, omelette and pancakes. Everything was good. It's a nice little chill spot to sit and eat. I will definitely be back. Even if it's just to get the hash to go. Only thing I'll wish was different would be the brand of OJ. Everfresh is not the best. $30 read more

They are so friendly to everyone! The food is really great.. especially breakfast. I haven't had many other meals but my friends love the Troy Salad and Greek salad too. Always enjoy my time here. BTW the coffee is really great too. read more

Am I really gonna have to travel to Michigan again to get my favorite corned beef hash? Super modest spot tucked in the corner of a shopping center in Troy, Alex's serves up a delicious home made corned beef hash with potatoes, green peppers and onion. The over medium eggs were perfect too. Friendly and fast service! Hope to be back. read more

Great fast service, good space and comfortable seating. Food came out hot and was very good and reasonably priced. Would definitely go back!

The restaurant always looks very clean. Everyone treats us so well and so kind. The service is truly top notch. My wife and I love to come as often as possible for breakfasts (it has become our regular breakfast spot). WE LOVE Alex's Roya Grill!!!!! Below are some of the many things we like to order and enjoy if it helps anyone: The eggs benedict is excellent (fantastic Hollandaise sauce). The homemade cornbeef hash is superior to any other homemade one I've tried. The french toast and cinnamon french toast are very good. Pancakes are excellent. Lemon Rice Soup excellent. Coney Island Hot Dog excellent (Delicious chili). The Mushroom Toast and Avocado Toast are both awesome! Love their Florentine Benedict as well! Very good turkey sausage! Coffee is solid. read more

Cute, friendly diner! We were in Troy for a concert and visiting friends. This place is near big beaver road by Marriott. There's plenty of parking, it's in a plaza with other businesses. We came for breakfast on Saturday with no waiting. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered an omelette with ham, green peppers, onions (forgot the name ) but it was delicious and big portion. I loved the hash browns, cooked perfectly crisp on top! My husband ordered the special mushroom toast and he said it was amazing! My daughter kept eating more of his breakfast instead of her French toast, which was also good. It was clean and good lighting from the big windows. I will definitely return when we stay in the area again. read more

best food ever also a real det coney great clean place to have lunch the staff is so professional and real family ordinated

We went here based on the reviews we read online and they weren't kidding! This is definitely one of the best breakfast places around. This is a small family type diner with just a few booths and many friendly faces. We were staying over at the Somerset Inn hotel and it's only about five minutes away from this restaurant on Livernois. I got the veggie omelette made with egg whites and had them switch the Swiss cheese to mozzarella cheese. My friend got the farmers omelette and said it was really delicious. Both omelettes were huge and were stuffed with many many ingredients. We both ended up taking a carry out box. The rye bread is really good and was also cooked just the way I like it (believe it or not many places can't make toast properly!) My hashbrowns were done perfectly but my friend said his were a little too crispy for him. All in all I would definitely go to this restaurant again and highly recommended for breakfast. read more

Alex's Royal Grill is hands down the best diner in Oakland County. No competition. The service staff are professional and courteous and the food is consistent, beautifully prepared, and delicious. I am constantly impressed by and grateful for their attentiveness. Five stars! read more

Homemade Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Pretty good food I have only been here a couple of times and I like it so far. Both times I have gotten the hash. Menu is a little overwhelming. It's nice that you can get breakfast or dinner items at lunch (at least I think so). Also has a small bar to sit at which is nice for grabbing a quick bite to eat. read more

Great family owned business. Amazing egg white omelette and excellent thick rye toast.

Watch your bill, these people lack integrity and will not charge you the same prices on the menu. When I noticed the change and asked why I was charged more, I was met with the overused excuse that the manager increased the prices today but hasn't updated the menu. Not only is this unethical and illegal but here's how it works...if you don't change your prices on your menu then you didn't have a price increase. This review is purely principal and I'm fed up with restaurants treating their customers this way. I would have never done that. They don't even put the price for each item on the handwritten bill, then take the menu from the table, hoping you won't notice the difference. Unless someone sits at their table like me who is a former restaurant owner in the area or a savvy numbers person. The woman who came to the table to give me this blatant lie excuse attempted to make me feel like I couldn't afford to pay the price increase when it's clearly obvious they can't afford to have an honest business and feel the need to subtly inflate your bill from the price you agreed to pay on the menu. Also, $1.00 for a side of sour cream? Really? Far better honest businesses to give your money to in the area. If you want an orange juice with your breakfast it'll cost you $4.00 at this very small family diner. I can see paying that for the atmosphere at a high quality brunch - but not here. read more

Both the food and service here were exceptional. In town visiting relatives and looked for a diner for breakfast. Alex's appeared to be a favorite so we decided ti give it a go. Wait staff was prompt, pleasant, and courteous. My partner had a veggie omelet and hash browns ( they called them 'American Fries') and I had corned beef hash with two eggs over medium. Everything was very well prepared: the American fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; the corn beef hash was excellent (quite unlike any I had before); the over medium eggs were cooked perfectly; and the veggie omelette featured, fresh broccoli and mushrooms, and perfectly cooked eggs. We will definitely stop back in next time. We are in town! read more

I could have sworn I've reviewed this place before.... Lisa, indri, Ella, and Alex are all so nice and treat their regulars well! You can usually find me here on Sunday mornings for my usual: Alex's famous club and chili fries! Yummm! I've tried just about everything on their menu and I have to admit, everything here is very very good! Lemon rice soup with a twist of lemon is one of my favorites as well. They get very busy on the weekends for breakfast and lunch so be warned! They also have weird closing times to keep that in mind as well :) I highly recommend this place if you're ever in the area! read more

A local staple! I absolutely love this place for breakfast, brunch and lunch. I've had most major items on the menu and everything comes out great. My only complaint is it isn't open 24/7! Whether you're dining in or carrying out, Alex's has always had great food and good service. I recommend the club omelette! read more

Friendly and warm service, good coffee, and very good breakfast. Prices are reasonable as well. One of our favorite spots.

They charge a service fee when you use card, cash is better. Taste is standard like other breakfast place.

Totally thought this was a Chinese restaurant until further inspection on Easter Day, I was bless with a wonderful breakfast! Nice eating area and kind staff. Food was delicious too! Definitely my new go to breakfast spot! read more

Alex's Royal Grill - Crepes and breakfast sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Our family of four needed a quick breakfast before going. I called and ordered 3 meals of special omelettes. They said 10 minutes! Very quick. I came to pick the order up and it was packed and ready. People can dine in as well with restrictions and capacity of half of people it used ti take. Each omelette came with hashbrown and chosen type of bread. Portions are standard but all the food is lacking flavour. Quick and fresh but i would put some spices or whatever other restaurants add to their breakfast for some flavour. read more

We are always looking for new breakfast places and this restaurant popped up as a recommendation, so I glanced at the pictures and was sold! We've probably driven by this strip mall hundreds of times but the only place that stuck out was the gym; the restaurant is tucked away in the corner. Fortunately, when we arrived on a Sunday, it was early enough that the restaurant hadn't gotten a rush yet and we were able to get a table with no issues. I can't say the same for when we left, people were starting to file in so a word of advice, get there early! We had glanced at the menu and were pretty certain what we were ordering but still took our time glancing over the extensive menu- breakfast and lunch/dinner before ordering. I ordered the Greek Skillet (Greek omelette in skillet form) and my bf ordered the farmers omelette. The food came out within 10 minutes and it looked amazing- tasted even better. My go-to when it comes to skillets is the Greek, so I've ordered it at numerous restaurants and all are a 2-3 out of a 5, none worth eating the whole thing or taking home since I NEVER eat leftovers . This Greek Skillet was way different. The American fries weren't overpowering. Normally restaurants add a ton of the potatoes to take up room on the dish, but this wasn't the case. The fries were sliced so thin, that I wasn't sure if it was a potato or onion, that also was great because i didn't fill up on potatoes. The eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly, and the gyro mean was perfect bite sizes without being too big or skimped on. Not only did I take my leftovers home, but I also reheated and ate them later in the day . Sorry for no before pics, we were too hungry. We will definitely be coming back to Alex's in the near future! read more

I used to grab breakfast or get some take out from this place but not anymore. There for breakfast this morning and the men's room was disgusting. Feces and vomit all over the walls and a terrible smell. You could tell it had been there for at least a day. Never again. The owner was there too (I know him from his days in Southfield and then later Berkley) and he either didn't know it, which is inexcusable or ignored it, also inexusable. read more

We were in Troy for a couple days and were looking for something close, easy and relaxing for breakfast and decided to try Alex's Royal Grill in a nearby strip mall. Access and parking was easy and we were seated right away. The server was attentive and efficient. The fruit cup I ordered came with a fresh banana and fresh strawberries and blueberries which were excellent. The pancakes I ordered came out hot and tasty and very much hit the spot. My wife got a wonderful omelette. We both liked Alex's so much we went back the second morning and we were greeted with a refreshing "Welcome Back". The breakfast the second day was also wonderful and we both agreed this is our GO TO place the next time we are in a Troy read more
